first deca, really had fun! a huge thanks to the organisers for putting in the time and effort in making it all nice and smooth.
my break down
skid pan confused the f**k out of me. there is only so much an arab brain can handle, though i was alright on the second runs.
had a huge blow by issue which we kind of bandaid fixed.
also as i started the wangs the car started missing under boost so i went offroading and made my own shortcut back to martin (who had this priceless confused look on his face)
fixed that and gave it a once over and ripped this!

Had a blast today! Thanks to Ryan for the lend of some wheels while i sorted out some new ones :thanks:

Had a bit of a hard time of the skid pan, got lost heaps haha :rolleyes:

Really impressed with the general attitude of the group, it felt very welcoming and friendly. I learned a shit ton just from taking rides with some of the more experienced guys!

Once i got used to everything i was improving heaps which is what i wanted to get out of the day! Ill be back for the next one!!! ;)

i just assumed you were completely lost

Did anyone happen to find a black Hyundai Flip Key? I'm not sure if I've misplaced it in the car or at home, or if it's somehow been left at DECA.

Edit: Turns out I was smart enough to take it out of my car before I left for DECA. Found it :P.

FANTASTIIIC weekend!

Cheers to all who organised, helped, assisted, made it a great day! Had so much fun driving the Sil80 for the first time, glad it was relatively hassle-free.

Also happy to set the record for first triple-entered car and still having it running at the end of the day! Do we get a prize? :-D

No worries, pity the battery went flat after 2nd group runs. Didn't realise it doesn't last long after taping all runs on 1st group.

Thanks to the organisers, volunteers and sponsors once again!

And as always to Martin, Grant and Paul for the videos. (P.S. odium + jett.... isn't me)

No worries.

It's Peter by the way.

Heh cheers. Dont forget its also Russell and Campbells Sil80 too. Credit to those guys too for producing an 'off its chops' car haha.

Job well done boys. Loved the flutter too

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
